782 Gilmore BONAPARTE GULL @ 1931 Oct. 2 Between Unalaska & English Bay. During this two hour cruise immature I saw several dozen Bonaparte Gulls all told. They were scattered among the more numerous Kittiwakes but their black upper wing covers & the black tipped tails of the immatures were easily to pick out. No adults were To be seen. Oct. 7. Kutan Pass, W. Aleutian Is. I saw them occasionally thrown out the 6 hour trip across the rough windy pass. They were straggling individuals and not flocks. Most of them were immatures and only one or two had any real black feathering on the head.
